What do you think about Encyclopedia Dramatica's entry on this site?

     Okay, so I've been on holidays for the past week, and I haven't been active at all on this site. But now I'm back and I will make it to the 5 posts before the end of the week! (I don't think so actually)

 

     I have just finished reading this wiki about MLP forums, and I would like to know: (If you have read it too) What were your thoughts about it?. If you haven't read it, well, don't xD Especially if you don't stand people making fun of bronies.

 

  On my opinion, it was quite funny, but considering that I am a horrible person, that opinion is probably wrong. That's why I want to hear what all of you think. 

 

  Cheers!

Its a wiki designed by people who are trolls for the act of trolling. That's says about how much i value it.

Nah, you're good. Just gave it a read myself. Only problems I can see are how it uses autistic and "faggot" as insults, but I guess it gets the point across here..

 

That being said a good friend of mine with Asperger's syndrome argues that bronies legitly are autistic and uses specific symptoms of autism to explain certain fandom behaviors. (Like when I was telling him about Blueblood and Angel and how I feel they get too much hate, he gave me a multi-line explanation for their hatedoms, relating to autism...)

It's a really cynical Wikipedia that talks about popular topics I guess.

It's the UrbanDictionary of Wikis c:

 

I personally like it because it's crazy over the top and almost doesn't take itself seriously.

Your friend exhibited self-hating ableism. Just because fans really despise certain characters doesn't relate, in any way, to a disorder, and for him to even suggest it is downright bigoted. Blueblood and Angel deserve the hatred they get. Angel is hated because he can be a really massive dickhead, especially from episodes like Putting Your Hoof Down. Prince Blueblood earned the nickname Prince Douche because he's a rude, egocentric jerk who values himself in every way over Rarity; her standing up to him when he used her as a shield is so deserving.

I don't read or find humor in any site that encourages doxing, a form of terrorism.

 

   Fair enough. But I do read it, and I do find humor in it. It is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. And even if it was, not many people would  xD

I can agree with your first two sentences, but I still feel like they get way too much hate. Not talking about any specific nickname of Blueblood's, but these guys get villified to high heck, and I've seen plenty of folks calling for their death. Even at least one talking about wanting to slowly torture Blueblood to death...

 

Edit: Gosh dang it, now I'm feeling guilty for supporting his theories enough to come and cite them. I thought it was okay because he was talking about specific symptoms, not just blanket saying "bronies are autistic" as an insult, but... Gah. I'm not about to go tell him "isn't that self-hate", but I don't think I'm going to be mentioning his ideas to other people again.

Don't forget pre-reform Diamond Tiara. She used to be the target of that kind of flank before Magical Mystery Cure: CMCs Edition

 

Well, enciclopedia dramatica is a site where they make humorous and exaggerating the topics they're about. It is no means to be taken seriously. The same cannot be said for others like the Sonichu guy though :huh:

Not talking about Encyclopedia Dramatica here, talking about in the fandom. Or were you not talking to me in that second paragraph?

No, the second paragraph was my general answer to this thread, the first one was directed at you  ;)

I find it funny sometimes, despite myself. Mostly, though, it's lowest common denominator type humour, the kind which prides itself on taking cheap shots at easy targets, and lacking in basic wit. I don't take it seriously. Getting mad about it just makes it their victory. Reading it, I get the impression the main writer is a former member of this site who was banned, and is getting his childish revenge.

Sometimes I visit ED, but not now since I'm waiting for the new Star Wars movie and they're probably gonna spoil the whole movie for the lulz :umad:.

I haven't read a page in years, often times I found it very try hard in terms of humor, but now and then there is an occasional funny article. I think it more or less become incredibly stupid as time went on. They are run by crappy people who do crappy things, but I can see both sides. Some people on there who have articles have rightfully earned them, as mean as that sounds. However others have not. Like people like DSP definitely earned their articles by being constant douchebags to their fans, lying regularly, threatening people with physical violence, stealing and literally treating women like garbage. So yeah, I don't exactly feel bad that he has a whole article making fun of him, he's kind of earned it.

 

A lot of people on those articles DO earn them, because ED regularly deletes articles about people who are of no significance. It's near impossible to just go and make a fake article about someone just because you dislike them. They have to be more or less unanimously hated by a good chunk of the internet for it to stay. They do take them too far sometimes, but there is SOME (I emphasize SOME) validity to some of their articles though, but always take EVERYTHING there with a grain of salt. Their community though is a bunch of children, I don't think any of us can deny that.

 

Their article on bronies is obviously wicked off and uses extremes to encompass the entire fanbase.

Don't forget that, sometimes, ED is also used for punishment. Remember Yelling at Cats? He got so many people upset that ED decided to mock him as backlash. YaC may not react to it, but I'm sure he's deeply "plothurt" by it.

 

Also the irony that an ED (and KnowYourMeme's) article about a well known boycott movement is far more accurate than Wikipedia's article.
